  • Device for cardiac ablation designed for automatic electronic control of the esophageal catheter position
    Patent number: 10595773
    Abstract: This invention concerns a device (1) for detecting and monitoring the temperature of the esophagus (E) during cardiac ablation treatments, which makes it possible to continuously and automatically monitor the correct positioning of the temperature sensors (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 3e).

  • Control handle for catheters or cannulas for medical use
    Patent number: 10105515
    Abstract: A control handle (1) for a tubular element (100) for medical use, comprising an outer casing (2) comprising a first half-shell (2a) and a second half-shell (2b) connected to each other in a respective side connecting portion so that the first (2a) and the second (2b) half-shell are configurable in at least a configuration of being moved away from each other, adapted to enable the transversal insertion of at least a portion of the tubular element (100) between the two half-shells (2a, 2b), and a configuration of being moved near each other adapted to close over said portion of the tubular element (100). Each half-shell (2a, 2b) has a respective jaw (9a, 9b), the jaws (9a, 9b) of the two half-shells (2a, 2b) cooperate with each other to define a clamping member (9) suitable for being tightened around a portion of the tubular element (100).

  • Esophageal probe with the temperature change speed detection system
    Patent number: 10105178
    Abstract: The present invention has for object a device (1) for detecting the temperature of the esophagus (E) in cardiac ablation treatments which device, unlike known devices, allows to more securely monitor the temperature of the esophageal lumen, thereby promptly detecting any possible criticality to which the patient (P) may be exposed due to excessively rapid temperature fluctuations.

  • Esophageal electrocatheter
    Patent number: 8145289
    Abstract: An esophageal catheter comprises an insertion element (1) able to be inserted into a patient's esophagus and having a distal end (2) and a sheath (3) containing the cables (7) for connection to at least two temperature sensors (4) fitted along the element (1) in the vicinity of the distal end, the sensors being mounted in predetermined positions relative to one or more positioning elements (5, 6) defining a temperature detection zone (8).
